BEVERLY â North Shore Community Baptist Church in Beverly hosted Night to Shine 2024, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation, on Feb. 9.
Almost 80 guests and their parents and caregivers attended the event, a prom-like experience centered on âGodâs love and celebrating people with special needs,â according to a press release from the church. The event was held in-person by host churches around the world simultaneously on Feb. 9.
The evening at North Shore Community Baptist Church began with guests walking the red carpet complete with an enthusiastic welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi. Once inside, guests received a corsage or boutonniere as well as the royal treatment at hair, makeup and shoeshine stations.
The festivities continued with limousine rides, a catered dinner, karaoke and dancing. Every special guest had the honor of being crowned king or queen of the prom.
Nearly 260 volunteers from area churches, Gordon College, Gordon-Conwell Seminary, Joni and Friends, and the community worked together to make the evening memorable, organizers said.
This was the 10th anniversary of Night to Shine. The event has provided over a half a million guest experiences through hundreds of churches from 56 different countries.
As sponsor, the Tim Tebow Foundation provides each host church with the official Night to Shine Planning Manual, personalized guidance from a foundation staff member, the opportunity to apply for a financial grant, and access to planning sources.
